installing Debian and WinNT 4.0
I'm trying to make a machine dual boot (I hate WinNT but I need it while I
port some software to Linux)
First, my hardware is not easy since I have a 12.9 GB disk, which I'd like
to partition and have hold both operating systems. The problem that I'm
facing is that I installed NT, but when I installed Debian/hamm, NT
stopped loading (even when I set the NT partition to bootable) I think
that part of the problem is that I have to use 'hda=1575,255,63' on the
linux boot line in order to get cfdisk not to freak out, but when the
partition info gets written back, NT no longer likes the format? Should I
not be using cfdisk, rather linux fdisk to partition it??
Has anybody done a successful install of a dual boot machine with NT and
Debian? I read the mini-howto on NT-loader, but I don't like it that
much, since I have to transfer that LILO boot sector file across
filesystems every time that I rebuild the kernel.
